You may like old cars, but not everyone does. People want new cars, you're being too ignorant to the fact that newer cars can offer better reliability and efficiency than older ones. You're too bone-headed to see past this silly Micra phase you have going on. Also, pointing out all the faults you can with Hyundai's is a but trivial towards your points. The Micra has horrible sill and cross-member rusts, that usually decides the fate of the car. You've worked on an OLD Hyundai, not a new one. The car you've worked on probably had previous bad owners who didn't give a #### about it. You cannot judge the whole Hyundai range based on a neglected piece of #### you fiddled with how ever long ago.
true some people do like new cars, these people are known as car-retards, the kind of people who will call the RAC to change a wheel because they are too stuck up their own asses to get their hands dirty.
again in my experiance as a well travelled car enthusiast, new cars are crap, i have driven many cars i have done 1000s of miles in a week using different hire cars, both old and new, i have driven just about every corsa there has ever been and even as far as convertible jags and saabs, because they were out of normal cars. even the new compound charge golf. every single one i had a look under the bonnet, i had a fiddle and a play with and they are all plastic covered engines, plastic clips holding everything together and computer controlled crap that flashes warning lights at you.
I was driving a renault modis, it got up to 75mph and then the engine shut down and a warning light came on saying i needed to take it back to the dealer, i had to undo the battery and wait (actually the reconmendation from the hire company) it then did this 2 more times. thats because it had a computer in it that was trying to be smart. show me a new car without a shed load of computers in it?
you say that i have a silly micra phase and that i am bone idle? why are you so obsessed with Hyundai's? they are crap, i have worked on new ones and old ones. one Hyundai i was working on was an automatic, the gearbox had been changed twice along with the onboard computer but it would often stick to 1st gear only. show me a micra with that problem?
micras have rusty sills and rusty cross members, but they are easily fixed, they can be avoided if you take care, none of my cars are rusty, its not like a fault with the computer or anything like that. the problems you get with micras can be resolved with basic know how, and don't involve going to a main dealer like ALL new cars.
Hyundai's are the worst cars, and i can speak about the entire range even if i have not experienced the entire range because all car manufactures have their own standards. like nissan you will find the same engines in different models, and the same trim etc, a common fault can effect all the cars of that generation. so Hyundai's being badly built shows that as a company they do not design or assemble them well.
i don't know your level of experience with working on cars, but it sounds to me like you just drive them and take them to someone else if anything goes wrong. if that is the case then you don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to talking about reliability.
to be perfectly honest it does seem like you are just here to pick a fight, you know full well this is a nissan forum, you also know that micras are very good cars, yet you start posting agressive, insulting and childish posts for no reason. i have noticed many of your posts being agressive and insulting to other members, which is pretty much a ban according to the rules of this forum, and, like all forums this is a place to DISCUSS not argue, and of all the things to discuss this is a forum specifically for NISSAN MICRAS, so saying something like "silly micra phase" is an insult to everyone on this forum.
